For generations, Reed’s Dairy has been part of the daily rhythm of life in Idaho Falls—delivering fresh milk to doorsteps, scooping up creamy ice cream at the counter, and making sure every visit feels like home. Now, the family-owned business is laying the foundation for its future with a major investment in its production facility—bringing modern upgrades to match growing demand while keeping its deeply rooted local values front and center.
“This is about preparing for the future while staying grounded in who we are,” said Alan Reed, second-generation owner and president. “We’re a local family, our milk supply is here, our team is here, and our commitment to our customers is here. That’s never going to change.”
While Reed’s Dairy has expanded in recent years with additional store locations across the state, its flagship operation remains proudly based in Idaho Falls. The upgraded facility will not only improve production capabilities but will also bring back the classic glass milk bottles that have been a longtime feature for home delivery customers and store customers.
These changes come as the business marks its 70th year—not with fanfare, but with the same steady commitment to quality, service, and community that’s guided it from the start.
“For us, it’s more than simply selling milk, cheese and ice cream,” Alan said. “It’s about being part of people’s lives—from the chocolate milk in their fridge to the ice cream shared on a summer evening. That’s what matters most.”
As Reed’s Dairy looks ahead, one thing is certain: the next chapter will reflect the same hometown care, farm-fresh promise, and family dedication that have made it a trusted Idaho name for nearly three-quarters of a century.
